Ice Age Earth: Late Quaternary Geology and Climate
ISBN: 9780415015677 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The reconstruction of past climatic change is dependent upon the application of reliable dating techniques and an understanding of the context of these methods. The study of Quarternary palaeoenvironments must draw from a range of disciplines. In an area of increasing interest and specialisation, Ice Age Earth combines a summary of research and a synthetic description of the late Quarternary. It focuses on changes in the Earth's geology and climate between the last interglacial and the final melting of the last great ice sheets: 130,000 to 7000 year ago. The book describes the study of ocean...

Located at the interface of geography and literature, Writing the City visualizes the city through the hopes, aspirations, disappointments and pains of international novelists and creative writers....
